Default Medical question


Lynne or Ken or whatever internet moniker that this individual uses
are quite good at making himself/herself believable by presenting facts
mixing with factoids. Like Steve said, a quick read of past postings
will tell one whether to 'trust' this individual. In google, just
click the show options and choose find messages by this author. "Lynne"
had claimed of identify theft but all postings under her name and "Ken"
have the same style. It's pretty amazing that this troll have
continued to fool many people even rec.aviation regulars. On the other
hand, some people may find trolls amusing and don't mind participating
in some web jousting. The danger is that this may add to the troll
'credibility'. Some of the things that this troll had posted were
harmless (like the information on blood pressure) but if unsuspecting
students/pilots believe that "Lynn" was an M.D., CFI, ATP pilot (for
various arilines), DE, FAA weather briefer etc..and follow some of
his/her dubious advices like tossing away the checklist or let her
signoff their writtent test application etc., it can be dangerous.
